SHI Qiong, et al. Expression of Trophinin gene in mouse endometrium[J]. Journal of Chongqing Medical University, 2004,(5):585-587. DOI: 10.13406/j.cnki.cyxb.2004.05.007.
Objective:To investigate the expression of Trophinin gene in the mouse endometrium during the period of blastocyst implantation.Methods:By reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)
Trophinin gene in the mouse endometrium of 1~6 day normal pregnancy was detected.Results:The Trophinin mRNA was not detected in endometrium of nonpregnant and 1~2 day pregnant mouse.But in 3~5 day normal pregnancy it was strongly expressed.The Trophinin gene was scarcely detected in the endometrium of the 6 day pregnancy.Conclusion:Expression time of Trophinin mRNA in mouse endometrium coincides with blastocyst implantation.This suggests Trophinin participate in the adhesion of blastocyst and endometrium.
